Hull FC 20 - 30 Wigan

Trent Barrett inspired Wigan Warriors to a fine win over Hull FC at the KC Stadium, putting to bed the memories of their 54-12 defeat on this ground last season.

The Australia stand-off was arguably the highest-profile signing made by any side in the off-season and, after a spell of injury and indifferent form, was finally able to justify his reputation against the Black and Whites with a brace of tries and a fine all-round performance.
